CHAPTER 6
TEMPUS EDAX RERUM
This night seems to be the most gentle and quiet of all. The light wind played with the leaves barely illuminated by the pale rays of the moon that looks like a goddess and protects his creatures notturne.Da there is an accomplice secrets, welcomes a thousand sighs and glances that are offered, also accepts that many solitary tears like little gems come from the eyes of men and women who hide from the gaze of their peers and who entrust their pain or their joy eternal confidant to the moon that night ... so quiet is in contrast to the strong negative feelings that dominate the heart of a man ...
There he is only still ...
It had been a minute since I invoked his name and I left them at home for a short time before opening the door to turn around and run to her. My heart was beating fast and my body reacted with speed favoring my instinct: I had to save it.
Everything was so quiet and immobile.La night that I loved and now I was scared as I ran I felt I was living a nightmare.
- No it is real .... - I thought as I approached more and more to casa.La fear and pain dominated my mind as I tried to remain rational and came near the window.
What I saw was horrible and I rushed to the door chiusa.Senza think it over and threw open all the strength possible with a kick into the house.
It was unreal, not could no longer distinguish reality, because in my mind a whirlwind of thoughts block my part razionale.Mi they stopped beside her.
but I did not know what to do immediately and without thinking I put the index and middle fingers on his neck to see if she was still alive.
Her skin was so white hot and her breathing normal.
- It 's just fainted. Oh thank god! -.
gave me strength, and with great delicacy instinctively turned his face the other side in search of a wound.
I was on my knees watching.
Then I looked up and realized that the room was in order and that nothing had been touched or moved.
"But because I checked that did not have wounds on the neck? -. I said in a faint voice.
I looked up, looking out the window in search of clues but there was nothing.
Why would I think of something supernatural that would damage a person I knew a couple of hours?
- It 's all too weird .. - Nerea
open your eyes slowly and looked at me terrified.
-Hey girl all right? . - I asked.
could not speak because he was visibly shocked but nodded a little sorriso.Poi helped her to sit on the floor and I lay with their backs to the wall.
-I do not know what happened ..-
Nerea said as she looked around and checked in search of some stripe. But you should not have
-Starmie behind you? Were not you the expert? You were offered to follow me with my frequent headaches and instead?. - I asked
fun trying to get her to talk to better understand what had happened. I looked stunned, and in the meantime got up as if it were not la.I his blue eyes gave way to the end.
- Roscoe ..! . - He said, bursting into tears shaking and hugged me with all the strength he had.
Quell 'unexpected hug was so engaging and spontaneous and did not resist with my arms wrapped black with all the sweetness as possible. I was not used to embrace the people and perhaps I had never even abbaracciato if my parents ever existed or had existed.
scene was like a family heirloom, but I do not know where and when the feelings I felt were new and sconvolgenti.Sentivo his body trembling and his hands shake my shirt and realized what she had me.Durò need an eternity and it gave us great peace, and especially a lot of confidence. Then slowly the grip of his hands and slowly loosened as he was born that died deep embrace and let her go.
allowed her to look inside, you know the eyes are the mirror of the soul and nothing can escape a look attento.Mi watched and I know he was looking for property and its qualcosa.Era hands resting on my chest barely squeezed my camicia.Le smiles trying to comfort her.
The silence was overwhelming in that room.
- Hey, so what? . -I looked at her. Nerea
was still dazed was evident.
- Tell me what happened. -I told Cercado encouraged to talk and always smiling.
- Well I was ... Yes you were gone and I was just so tired I thought I'd go to bed e. .. ah ..-
said Nerea head with one hand while he touched his forehead.
- Continue listening to you and sustains you when you had to pass out again. - I said softly.
- It is so faint I then take advantage of it and you ... - She replied.
ammiccai looked at her and smiled.
- not for me ... you know more than you know I might rob the fridge are a ravenous beer drinker. - I smiled.
- Ah I muioio Roscoe and you scrub my beer really comforting. - He said she complained.
- Hey on the joke and I do it on purpose. - I told her as she looked down as if to hide his weakness.
was obvious that something terrible had frightened her, but what?
-beers are in the fridge and you can be quiet but you see that there is perhaps a sandwich half bitten ..- I wanted to make her smile at all costs and any profit would be silly. Ah-ah
have chewed my sandwich eh? This pay me! . -She said smiling.
- You have an innate talent in cooking girl and you're sensitive to your sandwiches now running a big risk. - I told her provoking.
- Equal feel? - Said she still deep in thought.
- Well they run the risk of ending up in my stomach in half a second!. - I said looking into her eyes and finally saw her smile.
- Roscoe thank you for the help but ... -. She said a little away from me.
- I just want to know what happened and help all. - I said, watching her. That
her away from me suddenly made me realize that maybe I was too protective and at that moment she needed another instead of protection.
- I'm sorry if ...-. He could not finish the sentence.
- Roscoe No I am sorry that I have to ask for all this mess and ... Oh, the door .. - He turned around watching.
- Yes I'm sorry but it was closed and I could not smash the windows ... -
-So you've thrown down ... - She said she headed for the door.
followed her with a look at him.
His step was sure seemed to stumble at any moment.
- Hey, by now you put the bear, you know my skills in the crafts are excellent!. - I answered.
- No I doubt it, but froze the ..-..
-Come on where are the tools? .-
- are in the cabinet under the sink in the kitchen but no worries. - He said she walked to the sofa and sat down.
- Come sit beside me I know I must leave tomorrow. -
returned from the kitchen with the bag of tools in his hand and walked by the door damaged.
- I'll be right Just give me five minutes. - I answered. Nerea
worked quickly while on the couch watching me.
-sighted they are all you need is also a lock with spare key, but it is important that you now put you to adjust the door. 'very late and then I remind you that tomorrow you have to leave for Germany And I ... -.
I had finished replace the door and I closed behind me and as she finished the sentence I was heading to the couch.
Suddenly dinuovo that damn noise deafening and the feeling of emptiness and chaos that accompanies the now customary presence that never leaves me ...
An indefinite and amplified voice uttered a sentence: \u0026lt;-Tempus Rerum Edax->
close my eyes and raised his arm as if to ; the blow of an invisible hand that is throwing at me ...
That infernal chaos vanishes when I open my eyes and Black finishes his sentence.
- I do not want to take advantage of your goodness ... but I know it's stupid, but know that you share makes me sad .. -
had not noticed what had happened also because she turned looking at the window, perhaps to hide his face or my laughter for fear of ridicule.
I hid my anxiety.
- no problems ever and I'm glad to be with you but you know it's something that I can not postpone and then only one week. - I told her.
Meanwhile I was sitting beside her on the couch.
- One week which will last an eternity ... Oh god now whimpering like a child! Roscoe Forgive me! . -
- Nerea do not worry it is likely your state of mind at the moment the shock and also know you're scared .. but I will return soon. 'I said.

It was dark and the noise had stopped but I felt a shortness of breath very own direction of my face and suddenly those eyes ..- Fini her.
- What color were they? -. I asked frightened.
- They were red as blood, and very bright ... It was horrible whatever it was!
said .- Nerea looking into the void and soon after voltoò to me ..
- Roscoe you believe in evil? - I asked.
- What do you mean bad? - I replied nonchalantly showing.
-Ok I'm sorry ... Maybe it's just my imagination .. But I know that there was something I know! - He said she looked at me.
- Let me get this Nerea. -.
- Here ... please do not laugh .. But you believe in the undead? -. A shudder ran through the
my back.
- Well I do not have a well of science and maybe my assumptions may be nonsense .. -
imbarazzato.Non I said I certainly could not tell him who knows what was torturing me since I was a teenager and I was constantly around propane to escape from this creature.
continued.
- Are our fears and our imagination amplified ... - Nerea stopped me.
- Roscoe did not want to know if you believe in life after death, we do not treat me like I was crazy! .- He said begging.
- Okay .. Nerea Scusami.No ...- I do not believe in vampires. Nerea
I watched in amazement.
- I've taken the words of my mouth ... are you sure that Roscoe ...-.
- Yes I am sure .. and I can not give an explanation on what happened ... Forgive me, but my mind has its limits in this area. - I told
- Mah but I will believe it and I'm afraid. - Nerea said.
- by changes argument. - I told her.
We spent the entire night on the couch talking, and luckily both quickly forgot what had happened.
Then we fell asleep together side by side until the first rays of the sun woke me.
She woke up with me.
- Good morning girl! . - I told her. She said
still all sleepy and sore from having slept scomoda.Facemmo breakfast and finally I had the privilege to taste the cuisine that was nothing short of sublime.
- What time do you have the flight Roscoe? - I asked her.
-At 9 and 45 and should arrive at the airport of Hanover at 10 am tomorrow .- I said thoughtfully. At the face-

- Hey girl with .. - I took my hands.

- Roscoe'm doing a bad picture with you damn it. - She said.

That expression gave me the necessary strength for the journey and return home.
We were happy.
propio-Well now I have to go it is almost time. 'I said.

- If you do not mind I would often hear ...- She said
-Of course I'll call you even just a quiet arrival .- I said. It seemed to be a good time to express my interest, but thought to be too rash, as a gesture, let stand. Roscoe
-good trip ... and you .. careful
.- - ...-
Thanks Nerea and concern to look at us and that split second was almost a long eternity ...
Then back into the house and waiting for the door richiudesse its back to me lit a cigarette and immediately walked towards the house where I waited for the bike and luggage.
arrived at the airport well in advance and after a brief stop to check in I signed for the transport of moto.Mi boarded and after the routine checks the plane trip partì.Fu tranquillo.Mente the plane landed (next day) at the airport I looked at the landscape and resulted family far away .. I saw the old Flugplatz Hildesheim Drispenstedt the former British military airport. Fresh off the boat picked up the little bags and taken the bike I jumped on the bike and drove off. It was a cold morning in early November but the sun high in the sky was warm and confortante.Arrivai in Dresden after three hours of travel and I realized that Cathedral is just outside the city in a rural town named Freital. After another 20 minutes at last entered the small village. He was surrounded by low hills and round where the farms and houses stood and gave the impression of being simply placed on earth. The local people had renounced all in the village square to participate in the market settimanale.Ero pretty hungry so I headed toward the hotel. It was a two-story building in an old building.
Entering
I went to reception where a girl was working on pc. He looked up and looked at me in German then greeted with a smile I returned and told the reservation made a week ago. 'She very kindly made me fill a small form and having the necessary documents gave me the welcome the keys to the room and gave me some useful information on struttura.La thanked and headed for the stairs going up and immediately got on the first floor of the room. I went in the backpack resting on the floor and went to finestra.Da behind the windows I noticed that the hotel was also equipped with a small garden with a central hearth , and plants of various genere.Era a quiet place and very quiet ...
It was only 4 pm and was but an empty stomach before going out and stretch my legs a little letto.Le lying on the bed sheets smelled clean and the quilt was soft so I closed my eyes for a momento.Dopo some took the phone from the pocket of his jeans and dialed the number of Nerea.Lei said second ring.
- Roscoe! . -
- Hey girl how is everything ok? . -
- Sure you can but do you? All is well on the way? -
- were in hotels and given that there are just 4 pm for the history of the documents I think about tomorrow now I think I'll relax a little propio ..-
- lazy Oh I understand what you do in-room dining and sleep sleep sleep! Bravo or so escape from the daily routine. - Nerea laughed felt his serenity.
- You actually have given me a good idea.Tu what you were doing? - I asked.
- Roscoe Well maybe you forgot about the time zone ... - I hid her face in her hands.
- Oh sorry I forgot! Were you sleeping? Please sorry! -
- No alarm went quiet I'm in bed but I was fiddling with pc know to pass the time between two hours and then I go to work. -She said.
- But tell me it was hard to get there? -
No, I missed even know these trips is a beautiful place one day you'll take. -
- I'd love to sleep well from now I'll leave you tired. ... Roscoe seem stupid but I miss you .. -
This sentence filled me with pride and tenderness.
I was embarrassed but still had the courage to express my feelings ..
- I miss you too, Nerea quiet return Rest a little too soon .. Ring me then you'll just call you free and do not worry even if I sleep I hear the phone .-
-Roscoe Ok then see you later and I would recommend careful ..-
We said goodbye . I do not know why I kept saying continually to be careful in the end I was in a hostile country ....
After the chat I decided to go out and make a turn.
I jumped on the bike and before I go in a square around the country. It was strange because I had not needed so far the browser was as if I had been there before ... I was familiar ....
I parked the bike a short distance from the town square and decided to enter the small bar in front. I took a beer and a sandwich and my palate is delighted and my senses were satisfied. I paid and left the small bar while the people sitting at tables chatting happily. Some children were playing near the small fountain ...
That fountain I had already seen ...
I approached with curiosity by studying every detail ..
was November but hard evening that was so attractive that people would stop with pleasure in the little square.
The happy cries of children echoed in my ears as I approached the fountain more and more ..
\u0026lt;\u0026lt;Dad by Dad play !>>....\u0026lt;\u0026lt; Roscoe beware! Not get wet!>>
For a moment, these voices echoed in my orecchie.Mi looked normale.Mi tone and everything was mirrored in the 'clear water of the source while others rivolidi pure water coming down fast from the mouths of lions carved in stone ..
looked at the water and glitter the rays of the sun almost blinded me for a istante.Chiusi Ochi's and saw a happy couple with the child propio stand right opposite me.Appena open eyes I saw them again. They had a different clothing of another era, perhaps the man had a military uniform while the woman was wearing a light as bright. The satin color of the sun shine upon you and giving it completely encircled royalty and beauty. That child was so happy ... A screaming child
me back to reality, and while these images dissolved a little girl approached me intimidita.La his ball was dropped into the well and after I recovered avergliela delivered looked run on.
Why those visions? Because it all seemed so familiar? What I hid there?.
I did not know but I wanted to discover it for free myself from all that pain that I carry around a long tempo.Forse all began for them and perhaps that is why Jack propio I've never been more reported here to protect me ... .. . But from what?
Too many questions .....
I went back to the hotel and noticed a small room and was lettura.Entrai vuota.Mi went to the library and found a book on architecture from which it finally obtained more detailed information about this book and took charge cattedrale.Presi the chair closest to the acceso.Il fire burning fireplace slowly consumed the logs stacked on a metal structure and occasionally emitting sparks and crackles.
Nothing in addition to technical information on the building. It was built during the Middle Ages and the Gothic architectural movement was expressed with passion and strength in Germania.Fu began in 1209 and work was completed after 30 years .. . Turning the page I found a piece of paper with the black bold font: "Cathedral Freital focus on" the date was 1991 and I was shocked reading.
The section read thus: "Unexplained gesture crowds set fire to this monument historic town tedesca.Fonti from scientific police department show that the march was most likely caused by a cortocircuito.Le inquiries stop there to the amazement generale.E 'strange so impressive as a monument has been left in this state degradation and that the church authorities have been forgotten in this common will to work chiesa.Il restauro.Non forgetting the main event that made headlines in our country addietro.Si time points out that the cathedral was in time of war requisitioned by the German Army for military use also because of the nature of the strategic place to prevent the Russians gain ground before coming to Dresden and from there invade Germany and consequently the capital of the Reich: Berlino.Non be ruled out even the possibility that a group of misfits have deliberately set fire to the cathedral to give a signal to the authorities past locali.In In fact, it was discovered that inside the cathedral were carried out periodically to the rites of unknown nature and that later and for this reason, the cathedral was desecrated. "It was amazing he was deeply
stupito.Chiuso the book and put it back in its place because you could not smoke inside the hotel I walked to the back and went into the sunlight to giardino.Fuori sunset makes the landscape intrigante.Cosa could be even more ambiguous than this in the cathedral? What concealed? question marks while others huddled in my brain finished his cigarette, looking around.
finally made my decision. I would go to that place in the evening so as not to attract attention.
Maybe as an accomplice with the night I could find out more and give the right answers to my many interrogativi.Avrei shed light on my past because I was sure that cathedral centered in the sky that some modo.Osservai in the meantime had become darker and more menacing than usual.
A strong wind got up suddenly.
decided to return and stand waiting for the right moment to move.
-------------------
After 3 hours I woke up and left the room headed for the garage to take the cold but strangely forgot moto.Faceva to take the jacket and intimidated by the fact that I could change my mind went in a hurry from the hotel.
Enter the keys in the contact presses the gas pedal while the engine speed gradually increased parties to research Cathedral.
The country was semi-desert.
- Working the land must be tiring ..- I said softly as he slowly crossed the street. He left the country and found myself at a bivio.La evening was quiet there was no fog and the sky was clear, even if the massive cloud clusters lentezza.Non was crossed with the moon and the darkness of the surrounding landscape was more solito.Se it was not for the lights I would have struggled to urban piu.Imboccai an uphill road and stopped and turned around to a attimo.Mi a certain height I saw what I was in high compared to the country lying under the enormous collina.Svoltai left again also because an old sign I indicated that half-covered in a while I met the object of my questions ...
Frauenkirche.
was spectacular and I was surprised to see her from 'costruzione.Rallentai grandeur of the speed of the bike I almost stopped to see it better ...
Do not I know the night and the environment, but all made the most spectral intrigante.Accostando and let the bike off the edge of the driveway. This small snake made of stone from the river led me over the brow of the hill where once stood the magnificent cathedral ... I stood there for several minutes.
I looked around and realized that in the meantime in the moist soil slowly lifted a veil of mist dancing and expanded quickly putting the chills.
I wondered if I was really there ... only question that I could not answer ... I advanced a little with observing how meticulous was built brick by brick this tempio.La care and commitment to build the cathedral could be seen in every particolare.Mi stood still for a moment exploring my feelings ...
Then the I finally decided to go ... The big solid wooden door was quietly opened socchiuso.Lo ....
was left to itself the subject of the fury of the elements of time and yet he was still there stood proud and confident of his strength and that given by a thousand and perhaps more men who gave their souls , and their ingenuity to complete the work ... Upon entering
few electric lights illuminated the sides of two corridors. Benches dilapidated and dirty, perhaps the first time they were served to the faithful to celebrate the cyclical festivals of worship ..
I walked to the nave walking slowly and silently listening to the noises of the night ..
sacred effigy No, no painting or even a candle ... .. Nothing had been stripped long ago perhaps? Crossed stride with all the space that separates me from the altar but I stopped a little later ...
before my eyes on the ground there was a pool of dried blood and old Chisato how long I was there when he saw a raven spread its wings menacingly looking at me with his eyes blacks croaking loudly ...
flew away annoyed going to pose somewhere at the top so I could see better while I remained standing there to observe the blood ..
I was not afraid and I was not intimidated by what was around me but slowly I realized that while my stomach was closed slowly emerged a feeling unwelcome ...
that overwhelmed me was the anxiety and adrenaline that allowed him to begin to move faster in my veins .... I advanced slowly while a misty blanket of high expanded fast around me .. .
Why the fog closed in a cathedral? "I could not explain it and it was then Who gave the answer to the question asked a little earlier.
-not just .. -.
noise movimento.Alzai feathers and wings on his head and saw that crow fly in circles on me .. It seemed to observe my every move ...
more and more I approached the altar, or whatever it was and that was when the raven gliding downhill fast coming on him and almost went to put on that 'stone altar ...
curious watched my movements very slowly approaching and I was able to understand what was really on that rock ..
was disturbing and those objects were imbued with a mystery .. urn watched the raven, a book with the cover of velvet and a knife near them on the bare pietra.Vicino perhaps as a sacrificial object a human skull which had been resting on a semisciolta black candle and turned off.
was horrible but my thirst for knowledge drove me to make me avanti.Quella statue or deity that was motionless and appeared to scrutinize the mist rose quickly circondadomi ...
I put my feet on the carpet where the rock rested and it was then that I realized once again trampling on yet another pool of old blood ...
would be the last? No I do not think ...
The only candles were lit at the foot of the statue and seemed not to be consumed while the flames danced in the air moved by some kind of invisible force ...
-It 's like my dream ... -
I thought as I watched everything carefully. The same was the little black crow that did not seem to bother him as little prima.Mi scrutinized without emitting any sound .... I returned his gaze and then looked around ...
Suddenly a sigh me back to reality silencing my mind ... I turned but saw nothing beyond the dark ...
A voice ... that voice ... The he received at the home of Nerea ..
\u0026lt;The time that devours everything>
echoed into booming in my ears.
- Who's there? ..- I yelled to the darkness and she said the silence ...
Again ...
\u0026lt;I know who you are ... and know why you're here ... I was waiting ...>
retraced all echo the same corners of the cathedral as anger grew in me ...
- They want to see your face and end it once and for all, I want to be left alone! ..- I said out loud ..
The raven croaked while increasing the fog was concentrated in the area of 'altar ...
\u0026lt;Not hours ....Apri that book you know your storia...Non forget who sei...>
The voice was silent as I stared at that book with the cover of velvet and kept insisting that crow cawing as if to push me to get that book ...
- Anything that is not funny ... damn who you are ?.... Reply - I yelled in exasperation.
\u0026lt;Roscoe ...... the book .... now!>
looked at the frightened face of the statue ....
- What is it good. - I asked ..
There was no answer and kept staring at the altar without being able to do anything .... Then again
Once the item indefinitely ...
\u0026lt;The time that your book is all divora...Il chiave...>
I had to take it? What would have led to open and read that book maybe incomprehensible words ...
- I just ... I'm going ..-
The Crow, that all the time in which the voice had spoken had been silently cried louder and threatening .
Soon after that same voice turned into an inhuman scream ...
I was shocked so I decided to end it and take the damn book in my hands ...
He opened it and stood looking through old photos the first page ....
was a family album ... With the book open in his hands continued to browse through photos after photos and read the names and date below each image that met my eager eyes and angry .. .
Then again that voice ....
\u0026lt;All te...Ho has led to almost complete my compito...Roscoe...>
I lifted my face and looked towards the statue ...
\u0026lt;leave go and close your occhi>
I did not know what to do as a slave was a dream and I could not think and move ...
Then finally gave in and my eyes closed ..
And sweeter silence in front of me I saw that pair of new views in the town square along with other images almost recognize ....
I felt the presence surround me and give me an incredible peace the anxiety gave way to a deep breath and my muscles relaxed ..
For the last time the voice echoed in the cathedral ....
\u0026lt;Mio figlio...>
He opened his eyes and remained there to look good portion of the cathedral while the night ruled out of the world as dominated but now my limbs above all my heart ....
homewards .....
Another pilgrimage In the rain Of a bleak gray
morning
We Walked In twilight
Our path and Forgotten ...
